Elkhart, Ind.-based Tredit Tire and Wheel announced the acquisition of Wayne Tire and Wheel’s original equipment distribution business segment.

As the company enters its third generation as a family owned business, Don Gremore and his son, Donavon, will continue to operate and develop Wayne Tire and Wheel’s retail and aftermarket distribution business at their location in White Pigeon, Mich.

Tredit is a leading distributor of tires, wheels and related accessories to trailer OEMs throughout North America, including recreational vehicle, cargo, utility, marine, horse/livestock, and heavy-duty equipment.

Prime Time Manufacturing, in partnership with Tredit Tire and Wheel, is providing their customers with two new premium benefit programs that will “enhance the safety, convenience and overall ownership experience included with the purchase of a Prime Time recreational vehicle.”

Tredit, the exclusive provider of tires to Prime Time is now offering the all-new Tredit Care Plus Emergency Roadside Service program as an added benefit when purchasing a Prime Time RV. “Tredit is proud to be the first tire supplier in the industry to offer this ground-breaking program that will ensure tremendous peace-of-mind for Prime Time customers,” said National Accounts Manager Missy Rogers in a press release.

Tredit Care Plus provides 24/7 emergency tire change service, vehicle theft recovery incentives, lost/stolen key service, trip routing, and an on-line concierge service. The program is available for two years after the date of purchase.

In addition, Tredit’s premium Towmax tires used on many Prime Time brands now include a five year – lifetime warranty coverage plan offered by the tire manufacturer.

“Prime Time Manufacturing goes the extra mile by requiring upgraded tire specifications and large carrying capacities on their customer’s units,” Rogers said. “Using our Towmax premium tire plus the additional safety margin built into a Prime Time recreational vehicle translates into one of the industry’s lowest failure rate and highest safety rating.”

Jeff Rank, president of Prime Time Manufacturing, credits Tredit and their tire supplier for a strong commitment to improve the quality and service of their products. “We’ve made a careful decision to use Tredit Tire and Wheel because it’s critical that our customers aren’t stranded on the side of the road. Over the years, we’ve had very, very few tire problems but when we do, our suppliers are quick to react and stand behind their products 100%. They are the best in the industry and we are excited to roll out these additional benefits to our retail customers.”
